Evaluation of shelf stability of antioxidant rich seabuckthorn fruit yoghurt

Antioxidant rich fruit yoghurt was developed utilizing seabuckthorn fruit syrup using yoghurt culture. The resultant product had higher content of fat, protein, carbohydrate and antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, phenols, anthocyanins) when compared to a commercial yoghurt. The shelf stability studies of yoghurt were assessed at room temperature, 15°C and 4°C. The product stored a...
